  1. 32A breaker requires minimum 4mm2 . Location for stake should be good. Use conduit if the cable needs protection from accidental damage.
  2. There is no exceptional reason to have single circuit RCBO when the main breaker is RCBO. The ground stake is normally within short distance from the CU and not covered by concrete.
  3. My comment was about the very high import tax on imported products like cigarettes and spirits which are directed at expats by a greedy government. The economy is, and has been, supported by the many billions of baht converted from home currency and spent annually in the Kingdom by expats.
  4. Virtually all shower units come with "ELCB" which, although a misnomer, is RCD protection at the unit. IE: RCBO on those might be redundant. Better use would be circuits with outside outlets and any outlets in the bathrooms (the latter could chain to the shower and use the RCBO for both.)
  5. I think we are the majority of the ones who buy imported goods and bringing billions of baht into an economy that would be suffering much more without us.
  6. One way to nurture stability would be to ease up on trying to squeeze money out of expats. We have kept this country from imploding. How about reducing the ridiculous import tax on our cigarettes and wine/spirits. That is a direct attack on us.
  7. Obviously, the image doesn't match the description given. Again suggest you go to your local "Home" place and DIY for the configuration.
  8. The image I see in the OP says "RCBO 63A" but it looks like regular breaker to me.
  9. Yes. Pretty sure Do Home and/or Home Hub and probably Global. Take that photo along so they know what you want.
  10. Well, you can't use the 32A breakers then. 3500W on 2.5mm2 is good. Suggest you go with unpopulated CU and go with breakers sized to your plan.
  11. The light circuits can go on 10A breaker. The rest should use 20A. Consider going with 32A breaker to the shower unit along with 4mm2 for potential future upgrade. Also, it is recommended to go with two 20A circuits to the kitchen to allow for diversity when multiple appliance running.
  12. You might try walking around and ask several homeowners who built their fence. The local masons are usually OK. We had 33m of this fence built for B11k labor and B12k material. They even dug out a hedge that the fence replaced.
  13. At least B30k labor and B35-50k materials is my guess. Not include painting.
  14. A cheap regulator might leak although never seen it. A leak is most likely in deteriorated hose which could be outside or in. Propane sinks and very unlikely to "build up a bomb".
  15. Just to say... as ubiquitous as LPG is in Thailand and never hearing of any blowing up or starting fires, I don't consider them dangerous no matter where placed. I'm sure there are anecdotes otherwise but I don't know why anyone would go to any extreme to put outside for so-called "safety".
  16. Any cleaning product, including TSP, needs to be rinsed.
  17. The products mentioned are sure to remove grease but so will most kitchen cleaning products. That's what they do. ????
  18. I didn't think so, but there you go.
  19. True with non-inverter but the inverters will continue dehumidification even though operating at a fraction of maximum capacity.
  20. 4k BTU. That's just using my 11kBTU Daikin as example. Once it reaches temperature, it throttles down to a few hundred watts. Specs on the unit should show the operating range. Generally sold at the maximum (12k BTU) but also has minimum which the dry setting usually operates at. My Daikin ranges from 11k to 2k.
  21. With an inverter unit, you will probably be running at 4k most of the time anyway - no matter what size maximum.
  22. Where ever gravity takes it. ????
  23. is that the way the control box came? It seems strange to me that it would have pigtails for connections. If you use wire nuts, I suggest tape to secure nut to the wires.
